The yellowish aphid pigment furanaphin, isolated from Aphis spiraecola and possessing cytotoxicity against HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia-60) cells, was synthesized by utilizing the Fries rearrangement assisted with a BFmiddot;2AcOH complex as a key step. It was confirmed that the complex effectively mediated the reaction even though the compounds had an electron-withdrawing substituent.
